CHAPTER 496: CHAPTER 496: FIRE BREAKING OUT

All the smile on Richie’s face was replaced by coldness: "Are you talking about the woman who deceived old man Quinn... Julia Sinclair?"

Seeing Richie’s expression, Wind knew he had guessed right and nodded: "Yeah, that’s right. Old man Quinn is senile. Whatever Julia says? He believes it as truth."

"Boss, it was Julia who whispered in old man Quinn’s ear, telling him that it was Ivana Monroe who killed Jack Quinn, which is why old man Quinn wants to kill Ivana Monroe."

"That old bastard," Richie cursed coldly. "He listens to Julia not only to avenge Jack but also to arrange a ghost marriage for Jack."

He had people investigate, and Julia was the woman Jack liked. Old man Quinn kept Julia at the Quinn family and granted her the title of granddaughter-in-law, wasn’t it all to help the ’deceased’ Jack arrange a ghost marriage?

Let him think, should he kill Jack to fulfill old man Quinn’s wishes, letting this venomous woman Julia truly marry a dead man?

Richie’s mouth curled into a sinister and evil smile.

It seems too easy on Julia.

Marrying a dead man, she could obtain the Quinn family’s wealth, living a life without worry—this is a good thing.

Julia dared to harm Ivana Monroe, Richie wants Julia to pay a painful price.

"Arrange a ghost marriage?"

Wind, Lightning, Thunder almost sprayed out their drinks.

What era is this?

Old man Quinn is so superstitious? Still wants to arrange a ghost marriage for Jack?

Anyway!

Considering old man Quinn’s age, he was born and lived through the old times. Although the era is quickly developing, his mind hasn’t progressed much; his thoughts are still stuck in the past.

"Wind, you go grab Jack now."

"Thunder, buy a plane ticket now to protect Ivana Monroe."

"Lightning, I don’t care what method you use, get Julia under surveillance, along with the killers she’s sent out."

After Richie finished instructing them, he turned around to his inner room to change clothes.

"Boss, it’s so late. Is there even a flight to that godforsaken place?"

"Get a helicopter."

"Boss, that godforsaken place has no cameras, how am I supposed to keep an eye on them..."

Richie stomped his foot and turned back to roll his eyes at Lightning.

"Aren’t you a hacker? Can’t infiltrate the Seagull system? Do I have to teach you everything?"

Richie’s voice was extremely cold, causing Lightning to shiver in fear.

"No need, no need, Boss, I know what to do now."

Ah!

He’s really stupid, why didn’t he think of monitoring the other party’s car? Julia and the killers are going to such a poor place, there are no cameras outside, but they will surely drive there!

The Seagull system can monitor every vehicle, down to capturing the driver picking his nose clearly.

Richie entered the changing room.

Wind, Lightning, Thunder gathered around, whispering.

"It’s over, Boss has fallen for Ivana Monroe." Thunder.

"That’s a good thing." Lightning.

"What’s good about it? Is Leon Keane so easy to deal with? Boss’s first love hasn’t started and it’s going to end already." Thinking about Richie’s outcome, Wind thought of the perpetual second male leads on TV, deeply in love with the heroine but never getting her love.

Sigh!

Their boss is destined to be a perpetual single dog without an ending.

Flash patted his head, tears streaming, very aggrieved: "Isn’t there a saying online, as long as the hoe swings well, there’s no corner that can’t be dug? Boss can win Ivana Monroe with his own abilities, no matter how powerful Leon Keane is, what’s the use?"

Thunder pondered for a moment, saying: "I think Flash has a point. Our boss, in terms of looks and physique, isn’t worse than Leon Keane. Ivana Monroe has no reason not to be moved by our boss."

Wind frowned; why is Thunder joining in foolishly?

"What kind of person is Leon Keane? You two want the boss to take Ivana Monroe away, anger Leon Keane, and then have Leon wipe out us all?"

What kind of people are these?

"What does it have to do with us? If Leon is going to wipe out, it’ll be the boss wiped out." Flash yelled.

It’s not him who took Ivana Monroe away.

"Naive kid." Wind patted Flash’s shoulder: "Don’t worry, Boss will definitely be the last one to be wiped out; we’ll definitely die before the boss."

Richie is the strongest among them, definitely the last one standing.

Don’t forget, they are The Umbra Organization. Leon Keane won’t just settle accounts with Richie, but with The Umbra Organization.

"I take back what I said earlier, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with Boss being a single dog forever." Thunder understood the meaning in Wind’s words, and he shivered, immediately expressing his stance.

Flash finally understood, his heart shook: "Actually being a single dog is quite good, Boss doesn’t need to invite disaster for a woman."

"What are you talking about?"

Richie changed clothes, it was a set of black tight-fitting clothes, worn with a bulletproof vest, and a black down coat over it. It seemed like he heard them talking about him and something about a woman?

"Nothing."

"Nothing."

"Nothing."

The three spoke in unison, their eyes clearly guilty.

Richie suspiciously looked at them.

"Oh! I’m about to go on a mission."

"I’m going too."

"Me too."

The three swiftly slipped away.

Richie was puzzled, what bad things about him did these three say while he was changing clothes? So guilty?

At a little past one in the evening.

Ivana Monroe was awakened by the noise and heat outside.

She opened her sleepy eyes; the room seemed to have lit up, with thick smoke coming in, which made her tear up from the choking.

Suddenly.

Leon Keane handed over a damp towel, hugged her shoulder, and said, "Honey, don’t be afraid, in a moment follow me, we’ll rush out with all our strength."

Ivana Monroe saw Leon Keane’s calm yet worried face in the firelight, realizing then that a fire had broken out.

The fire was intense, the surrounding wooden furniture was already burning vigorously, if they didn’t get out now, perhaps in a moment she and Leon would not be able to escape.

How did it suddenly catch fire?

Ivana Monroe didn’t have time to think about this, her foot was already being lifted by Leon.

"Honey,"

Ivana Monroe looked at Leon in surprise, he was squatting down to help her put on shoes.

The shoes were quickly put on, and he reached out to pull her off the bed, saying just one word, "Run."

Ivana Monroe followed Leon Keane running, almost reaching the door when the burning red top door bar crashed down beside them, Ivana was so choked that she couldn’t open her eyes, not realizing the danger.

Leon Keane’s face changed drastically, hugging Ivana Monroe, using his back to block the falling door bar.

Pain accompanied by hot temperatures rushed in.

Leon Keane groaned, a painful expression showing on his handsome face.

"Honey,"

Ivana Monroe sensed something was wrong, tried hard to open her eyes, saw the burning bar on Leon’s back slowly fall to the ground, her heart surged with emotions: "Your back..."

"I’m fine, keep the damp towel over your mouth and nose, don’t let the smoke get into your lungs."
